Hi,
What about KVM? Does it do the same as QEMU and will change to PXE?
kvm *is* qemu. Stable series (qemu-kvm) of kvm are based on stable
series of qemu.
But it does not really matter. It's more: I don't quite understand
what are you talking about "change to gPXE" (you probably mean
gPXE, not PXE). I mean, qemu (and kvm which is the same) ships
ready-to-use pre-built pxe boot roms in the source tarball. That's
what they mean when saying about the switch from etherboot to gpxe.
But on Debian, these binaries are not used anyway, so it's completely
irrelevant what the upstream does with these.
Regardless, the NICs emulated are more or less standard and they
will work with either etherboot or gpxe or even with vendor-
supplied boot roms (from realtek, intel and so on).

If I understand correctly, the problems are:
- etherboot ships with rom.gz, which is not usable by qemu, (major)
- etherboot installed package size is 32MB (minor).
Please note that QEMU 0.12.0 will use gPXE instead of etherboot, so
maybe we should just close/reassign the bug?
